.....Talk about the Government and aircraft....
I know some people in the charter business and the stories i've heard is hair raising. One particular one that comes to mind is a certain minister that wanted to fly from CPT to somewhere in SA (i cant remember the airport). She got quoted on some private jet to take her (which didn't come cheap, especially seeing as we, the tax payers pay for it), but after she saw a photo of the aircraft (think it might of been a Lear 45 or Premier I jet) she wanted "a bigger private jet because she wanted to make a good impression when she lands". A Jet was ferried from JHB to CPT to pick her up!

makes you sick.........
